Hmm, so it affects currency drops and experience?

Yes, exactly.

Also, remember that since you can only enter and leave a map a total of 6 times, full-clearing it before you head out for the first time means you can maximize the quality of loot you bring back with you.

Will I eventually be able to reach a point where I don't out-level content?

Like say I'm level 24 in The Crossroads in Act 2 and out-level the area by 7 levels. If I continue on normally (normal being fully clearing areas encountered at least once), will I eventually get my level range close to the map level due to the lower XP gain?
